Making Th
Final Notes About The
Big Holiday Season:
Have you taken down that
Christmas tree yet? That’s al
ways a sad time for the children
and it’s a job that the adults
postpone until the tree almost
sheds itself bare , . .
Folks are still talking about
the beautiful tree in the Chem
Lab, decorated by Gladyce Tea
gue. Incidentally, the attractive
ly-decorated home of Gladyce’s
and Burder’s on the East Boyles-
ton Road was awarded first
place in the contest held in Bre
vard during the holidays . . .
’ One of the most beautiful
homes on that snowy Christmas
Day was that of Mr. and Mrs.
Bob Matthews ! . . Fellars Patty,
little nephew of Bob and Dixie
Whitaker had Santa Claus cor
nered at the children’s party,
quizzing the bewhiskered gent
about his modes of transporta
tion. "Already this year I’ve
seen you in a jeep, driving your
reindeer, in a car, and in an air
plane. Now just how do you
travel.^”
A most appropriate gift: The
miniature bowling alley and
pins Jack Davies gave Pete
Eberle at the Endless Belt party.
SYMPATHY . . . to R. C.
"Slim” Bullock on the death of
his mother and to John Drake,
gate watchman, on the passing
of his father.
A young Indian girl was
asked by her high school teach
er to write something about
Socrates. She wrote:
"Socrates was a Greek philo
sopher who went about giving
people good advice. They poi
soned him.”
Each time I pass a church
'I always pay a visit;
So when at last I’m carried in,
The Lord won’t say, "Who is
it?”
HUMAN NATURE: Some
persons will believe anything if
it is whispered to them.
